knowing that cot(x) = cos(x)/sin(x), and that 1 = sin(x)/sin(x)
[cot(x) - 1]/[cot(x) + 1]
= {[cos(x)/sin(x)] - 1}/{[cos(x)/sin(x)] + 1}
= {[cos(x)/sin(x)] - [sin(x)/sin(x)]}/{[cos(x)/sin(x)] + [sin(x)/sin(x)]}
= {[cos(x) - sin(x)]/sin(x)}/{[cos(x) + sin(x)]/sin(x)}
= [cos(x) - sin(x)]/[cos(x) + sin(x)]
